Srila Naradamuni, Mercy Incarnate!

Verse 1.6.38: So what Srila Naradamuni does, is actually a thankless task. Nobody really appreciates it. But as the servant of the Lord, he pulls the living entities out of the cycle of birth and death, changes their attitude towards Godhead. Eg: Mrgari, Valmiki muni, All the family of Prahlad Maharaj, Dhruva Maharaj, and so many others. Almost most of the devotees mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam are his disciples. By the association of Naradamuni, they all changed. We have to hold on to the lotus feet of devotees.

Krishna always picks a devotee to any material opulence in the whole universe. So imagine what nice relationship Naradamuni has with Krishna, for him to have the same opulence of bringing conditioned souls back to Godhead.

All the Prajapati's, Manu's, Bali Maharaj, for everyone he is the spiritual master. Right after Brahma, immediate spiritual master in our parampara is Naradamuni. So if we observe his life, we can see that he is so right now because of his service to devotees. We have to have genuine gratitude for devotees. With this, we will be always happy.

Srila Prabhupada, also so vigorously preached all around the world for saving the conditioned souls.

Why not use this body for the service of Krishna, before it fades away into oblivion. This is just a way to show our gratitude to all the mercy we have received through these great devotees.
